| Produce free electricity in your own backyard |
| The future of wind power is here. Introducing the SkyStream 3.7 a compact, user friendly, all-inclusive, utility connected wind generator designed especially for residential homes and small businesses. Clean, quiet, free energy is closer than you think. With Skystream's technology, you can take control of rising electricity costs. The Skystream 3.7 is a backyard wind turbine that lets you make your own electricity. It's simple: when the wind blows, the Skystream sends electricity to your home or business. When Skystream produces more energy than you can use, your meter spins backwards and you receive a credit. When the wind is not blowing, you still get uninterrupted power from the utility company. Day or night, if there's wind, there's power. |
| With a rated capacity of 2.4 kW, Skystream can provide anywhere from 40% - 90%** of a household or small businesses total energy needs. Its sleek, distinctive swept-wing blades and elegant form make Skystream an attractive addition to any home or business. With a guyless tower, Skystream blends in like a neighborhood street lamp. And because it operates at a low RPM, Skystream is as quiet as the trees blowing in the wind. Skystream was designed from the start for homeowners and businesses looking for a quiet, convenient, affordable way to protect themselves from ever increasing electricity costs. With Skystream, homeowners and small business owners now have the power to choose their electricity source. **Actual savings is based on windspeed at the site and monthly energy consumption. |
 |
| Effective January 1, 2009 the Federal government is offering a 30% tax credit for both residential and commercial businesses that purchase wind turbines this year. There are also other incentives and rebates for businesses, agricultural, industrial, and educational facilities. Please check the DSIRE website for more information on incentives in your state. |

Electricity Supply
Will we have the power we need in the future?
The problem:
How will we supply the power we need to grow the economy while at the same time curbing emissions of greenhouse gases, such as
carbon dioxide, blamed for contributing to climate change?
In the 1960s and 1970s, the electric industry went through a period of expansion. For many years, the nation had excess base-load
generation capacity. But with the economic and demographic growth of the intervening years, that excess capacity is gone. Demand
for electricity is expected to increase 26 percent by 2030. At the same time, the cost of building new generation has skyrocketed
while the funding to make capital investments has shrunk. These costs will be passed on to the consumer, making electric power
less affordable for many Americans. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the organization charged with protecting
reliability of the bulk power system, has warned that between now and 2015, some regions of the country may experience rolling
black outs unless we build new generation capacity.
Facts on electricity supply:
Cooperative leadership:
A resource plan filed by Great River Energy, a generation and transmission cooperative based in Maple Grove, Minnesota,
analyzed the future electricity needs of the co-op's 28 member cooperatives, and identified the need to add approximately 1,800
MW (megawatts) of generating resources over the next 18 years. However, Great River Energy plans to first aggressively pursue
conservation and efficiency to reduce future resource needs

Facts on electricity supply:
- The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects electricity needs will grow nationally 1.0 percent a year from 2006
through 2020, for a 12 percent increase requiring 112,000 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity. - EIA estimates demand will grow 26 percent by 2030, requiring a total of 258,000 new megawatts unless extraordinary
efficiency measures are adopted. This magnitude of increase is roughly analogous to adding four more Californias. - According to the LTRA, nearly 25,000 MW of coal generation is still slated for construction in the next ten years; however, the
recent trend of cancellation and deferral of coal-fired plants casts doubt on many of these projects.
